I had 21 on my '99 RG before anyone even made a wide 21 front tire (ran a rear backwards) and the handling problem was scraping the extended bags?

The Majestic's are great looking wheels. I tell people all day long that the bike rides better with a 21" but one guy on here will post he doesn't like the ride and everyone calls ask questions. I tell everyone to get a 21". Most do and never have a complaint. The very few times I swell an 18x3.5 for teh front of a bagger I will inevitably get a call back a few months later asking how much a 21" in the same design they already bought is.

21" wheel

If I closed my eyes and rode my bike with the 16 or the 21 on it I couldn't tell the difference. 21" on the front stock springs, 1" lowered in back -- love it...

I like to think the my 21x18 combo makes the bike have much more of a glide feeling over stock. Could be my imagination, but im happy

I have an 09 RK with a 21" front wheel and it rides great! Don't listen to the dealer tech! I also changed out the rear tire with a 200/50/18. Not only does it ride smooth, it looks awesome!!!!
